Borussia Dortmund - Chelsea: Form Analysis
Borussia Dortmund have been strong starters to the year 2023. They come into this game straight from a 2-0 win over Werder Bremen. This was their sixth win of six matches in 2023 and they have scored at least two goals in each of the matches. Dortmund have however managed just two clean sheets in the six matches they’ve played this year and will be looking to do better against Chelsea. In their last six matches alone, the Germans have had 11 different scorers, netting 17 goals, with only Gio Reyna scoring three. They’ve scored in both halves in five of the six games, with 11 coming in the second half. At home, they’ve done well, coming into this game unbeaten in 10 matches at the Signal Iduna Park. They will hope this plays out here too after struggling a bit in the group stages, and against English teams. Dortmund have failed to win any of their last nine matches against Premier League sides. At the group stage, Dortmund managed only two wins in six, and they have three straight draws in the competition as they head here.
Chelsea had a better run in the group stages, starting slow but growing in the competition. The Blues carry to this game a run of four straight wins in the Champions League, after failing to win the first two games in the competition. That was their form towards November; coming into this game they aren’t doing so well. Compared to Dortmund, they’ve played more games (eight) in 2023 and scored less (four). Chelsea are coming from a 1-1 draw with West Ham United; that was their third straight draw, and they have one win only in their last eight games. In their last 12 matches, they’ve managed more than a goal in just one game and ahead of this one they failed to score in two of three games. Chelsea’s away run is poor; Graham Potter’s side has no win in eight away matches. The last time they won away was against Salzburg in the Champions League – their only away win in 10 matches.

Borussia Dortmund & Chelsea Squad Analysis
Borussia Dortmund are on a good run and their biggest strength is based on the fact that they have many players with a scoring touch. Gio Reyna has been a standout player in attack, with three goals in six matches. It doesn’t all stop with him; at least four more players have scored more than a goal in Dortmund’s last six games.
Chelsea will go into this game without a few key players. Christian Pulisic is definitely out with a knee injury and N’Golo Kante is back in training but still not match fit. Amanda Broja and Edouard Mendy are also out with knee and finger injuries as well. Chelsea haven't done well in attack in recent matches but after Joao Felix’s first goal for the club, they will hope he builds on the confidence after a shaky start to his Chelsea days.
